As I sit here
Tears rolling down my cheeks
I think of what I'd like to say
Yet I can't
You say I know nothing
My opinion non-existent
You say I have a choice
So long as it's what you chose
Who am I
Am I who I thought I was
No I am nothing
I try to please you
Never good enough
Taking notice of my mistakes
Life's not easy
You make it harder
I am useless now
Not because I am
Because you program me so
I am depressed
It's cause you are my savior
I look to you for guidance
Yet you shoot me down
You love what you could make me
Not who I am
You don't love your son
You love what you want from him
Slave to his emotions
Control him through it
You know how to make him cry
Causing fear too
I feel insignificant
Living not for purpose
But to please my father
Cliche it may be
But what choice do I have
My dreams are torn apart
My skills eliminated
I'm worth nothing in this world
Nothing
Empty
Insignificant
Soulless
Powerless
Useless
I'm waiting for death
It holds a world
Without expectation
Misguided truth in choice
Controlling pressures
I want to escape
Escape
But I'm powerless
Useless
